Position switch / limit switch / cam switch
With the electronic position switch (limit switch) ERC 40, position ranges can be monitored flexibly and safely. The position switches are ideally suited for use in crane hoists, in mining or at screw downs and side guides in steel mills.
The electronic limit switches are often used as a simple 1:1 replacement solution in existing systems with mechanical cam switches. They can also be easily integrated into new systems.
The programmable position switches ensure high accuracy and enable the system to be calibrated quickly and easily using the preset function.
Safe
The electronic position switches (limit switches) of the ERC 40 series were developed in line with the current safety standards.
- Status monitoring via error output and lifetime monitoring
- Robust housing and keyed joint with feather key / keyway
- Encapsulated electronics protected even when terminal box is open
- High-quality EMC cable glands
- Secure termination: double-tier terminal blocks in the potted terminal box
- Option: safety-certified up to SIL 2 / PL d
Comfortable
The electronic position switches (limit switches) of the ERC 40 series enable the switching points to be adjusted quickly and easily without long downtimes and are an ideal replacement for mechanical cam switches.
